Postville May Owe 4 Million If Agriprocessors Fails
Postville argues in bankruptcy papers that the city could owe more than 4 million tied to a USDA loan for a wastewater plant used by Agriprocessors Inc. The city seeks to move the case from New York to Iowa and cites a 4 million U S D A loan balance plus a 3.3 million grant. The town of 2200 faces over 1 700 per person in debt and blames plant shutdowns for unpaid taxes and water charges.
